Description

Early Archaic Period – 6500 BCE – 2500 BCE

By 8500 years ago global climate generally became warmer and dryer approximating that generally known today. In these increasingly arid conditions Native Peoples fished, gathered edible plants and nuts, and hunted smaller modern game like antelope and deer with projectiles bearing Abasolo, Hidalgo, and Lerma points.
